So all that talk about the VC industry’s struggles won’t go away as home run investments are still few and far between. Here’s yet another article on the struggles of the VC industry, particularly in the area of IT.

“..home runs are increasingly elusive. And venture capital is a home-run business, where the top 10% firms make up nearly 80% of the returns. ”

So if 90% of the VC firms are only getting 20% of the returns, that must mean they are downsizing and cutting back.   If they are cutting back that means that they may be hiring a different breed of associate - a cheaper one, one that does not have an MBA. So will this pre-MBA VC associate become a new hiring trend?
